The sad thing is, this is my team. And yet, this is what 10 years of misery and mismanagement have led me to. Oh well, at least their profitable and getting good seats at the game is never a problem.

There’s always an upside.

Wed, 11 Dec 2013 03:49:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=506457#comment-626096The Padres do have quite a few average-ish outfielders who should be available. Kyle Blanks and Jesus Guzman are comparable to Michael Saunders and would be inexpensive. Chris Denorfia, Will Venable, and Seth Smith would cost a bit more but hardly out of reach. Any of those guys would improve the Mariners’ outfield, even if only on a platoon basis. (Deliberately leaving out Cameron Maybin and Carlos Quentin as I doubt the Padres want to move them at this point.)

Regarding Ackley…ehh, doesn’t seem like much upside there. Maybe if he comes cheap enough then okay.

Wed, 11 Dec 2013 02:01:41 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=506457#comment-626062I was just thinking that the NYY need ANOTHER infielder that can’t hit .250. Oh…wait…no I wasn’t.

Wed, 11 Dec 2013 00:45:49 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=506457#comment-626038The Yankees should consider moving Soriano back to 2nd. I know that he’s old and hasn’t played the position for years but you could potentially have a 2nd baseman with 30 homers and 100 rbi. It would also free up the DH to be a rotation spot for Jeter, McCann, Teix, Beltran & Soriano.

Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:36:50 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=506457#comment-626003Jack Z better do something to get in some quality outfielders. Signing Cano and then putting out a minor league OF trio of Saunders, Ackley and Almonte would be the most incompetent GM move since… well, since last years Mariner’s outfield.

Tue, 10 Dec 2013 23:06:53 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=506457#comment-625970I would sign Jeff Baker. He’s good against lefties and can play 2B, 3B, 1B, and corner OF. Kelly Johnson bats lefty. Sign Mark Reynolds to play third and add a little power since Arod will surely miss 50-162 games.

Tue, 10 Dec 2013 22:33:41 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=506457#comment-625943Christ. Duds seems like just the kind of “outfielder” that Jack-Z seems to have fallen in love with.
